For Good Friday
San Guillermo Parish Church, Bacolor, Pampanga.
The last sentence in this sign sums up why this church looks the way it does now. |
These doors used to be the windows of the choir loft. |
And this is more than half of the original window. |

For Maundy Thursday
From Wikipedia:
*Incidentally, this is the same Wikipedia that has a separate entry for Holy Saturday, which is the current term of choice for the day before Easter. Read the disambiguations for "Black Saturday."
In the Philippines, most business establishments cease operations from Holy Thursday to Black Saturday. Most malls, however, only cease their operations on Holy Thursday and Good Friday and only opens on Black Saturday.* Terrestrial television and radio stations either go completely off-air during that period or operate limited hours where they broadcast special shows, usually themed for the Holy Week, which is not on their usual schedule. (Cable channels usually continue their normal telecasts as usual.) Newspapers usually have no issues during those days.
From a church in Pampanga. |
